Hymnus
Inter ætérnas súperum corónas,
quas sacro partas cólimus triúmpho,
émicas celsis méritis corúscus,
o Benedícte!
Sancta te compsit púerum senéctus,
nil sibi de te rápuit volúptas,
áruit mundi tibi flos, ad alta
mente leváto.
Hinc fuga lapsus pátriam, paréntes
déseris, fervens némorum colónus;
inde conscríbis documénta vitæ
pulchra beátæ.
Iam docens omnes pópulos subésse
légibus tandem placitísque Christi,
fac tuis cuncti précibus petámus
cælica semper.
Cláritas Patri genitæque Proli,
Flámini Sancto decus atque cultus,
grátia quorum tibi tanta laudis
glória lucet. Amen.

De libro Proverbiórum
Mulíerem fortem quis invéniet? Longe super gemmas prétium eius. Confídit in ea cor viri sui et spóliis non indigébit. Reddet ei bonum et non malum ómnibus diébus vitæ suæ. Quæsívit lanam et linum et operáta est delectatióne mánuum suárum. Facta est quasi navis institóris de longe portans panem suum. Et de nocte surréxit dedítque prædam domésticis suis et cibária ancíllis suis.
Considerávit agrum et emit eum; de fructu mánuum suárum plantávit víneam. Accínxit fortitúdine lumbos suos et roborávit bráchium suum. Gustávit et vidit quia bona est negotiátio eius; non exstinguétur in nocte lucérna eius. Manum suam misit ad colos, et dígiti eius apprehendérunt fusum. Palmas suas apéruit ínopi et manum suam exténdit ad páuperem. Non timébit dómui suæ a frigóribus nivis: omnes enim doméstici eius vestíti sunt duplícibus. Stragulátam vestem fecit sibi; byssus et púrpura induméntum eius. Nóbilis in portis vir eius, quando séderit cum senatóribus terræ. Síndonem fecit et véndidit et cíngulum trádidit Chanano.
Fortítudo et decor induméntum eius, et ridébit in die novíssimo. Os suum apéruit sapiéntiæ, et lex cleméntiæ in lingua eius. Considerávit sémitas domus suæ et panem otiósa non comédit. Surrexérunt fílii eius et beatíssimam prædicavérunt, vir eius et laudávit eam: "Multæ fíliæ fórtiter operátæ sunt, tu supergréssa es univérsas." Fallax grátia et vana est pulchritúdo; múlier timens Dóminum ipsa laudábitur. Date ei de fructu mánuum suárum, et laudent eam in portis ópera eius.
r. Præbe, fili, cor tuum mihi, et óculi tui vias meas custódiant, * Ut addátur grátia cápiti tuo. v. Atténde, fili mi, sapiéntiam meam, et ad elóquium meum inclína aurem tuam, * Ut addátur. v. Glória Patri. * Ut addátur.

Ex Sermónibus beáti Ælrédi abbátis (Sermo 6 in Natali S. Bened.: PL 195, 245-246)
Sanctum Patrem nostrum Benedíctum transísse cognóvimus; unde et quo tránsiit videámus. Tránsiit útique inde, ubi nos adhuc sumus; et eo tránsiit quo nos necdum pervénimus. Et tamen licet corporáliter non sumus illic, quo transit ille; nos spe et amóre sumus, iuxta illud Redemptóris nostri: Ubi est thesáurus tuus, ibi est et cor tuum. Unde et Apóstolus: Nostra conversátio in cælis est.
Sed quia unde et quo tránsiit scimus, étiam qua tránsiit videámus. Nihil enim eum sequi cupiéntibus scire prodest unde et quo tránsiit, nisi étiam quam tránsiit sciant. Per Christum útique tránsiit ad Christum; per fidem Iesu Christi, quæ in eo operabátur per dilectiónem, tránsiit ad spéciem et contemplatiónem Iesu Christi, in qua bonórum ómnium desidérium satiátur.
Via ergo eius Christus fuit, qui de se in Evangélio ait: Ego sum via, véritas et vita. Per ipsum tránsiit ad ipsum, quia ipse vita, quia via. Via rectíssima eiúsdem étiam Patris nostri óptima conversátio fuit. Via vitæ illíus sánctitas fuit. Beátus Pater Benedíctus hanc viam ténuit, de qua dícitur: Via iustórum recta est: quæ licet arcta sit, ad vitam tamen ducit. Hæc autem via inítio quidem arcta est; nam póstea, ut ipse beátus Benedíctus in Régula sua docet, cúrritur inenarrábili dilectiónis dulcédine via mandatórum Dei.
Regula sua monet ne quis timóre pertérritus viam salútis refúgiat; quam nisi angústo trámite non esse incipiéndam, experiéntia ipsa didícerat. Nóverat enim quod quamvis arctíssima foret, ad vitam tamen dúceret, sicut ait ipse Dóminus noster: Arcta est via quæ ducit ad vitam, et pauci sunt qui ámbulant per eam. Ad quam autem vitam ducit hæc via, ipse Dóminus in álio loco docet, dicens: Hæc est vita ætérna, ut cognóscant te verum Deum, et quem misísti, Iesum Christum.
r. Intempéstæ noctis hora, vir Dei instans vigíliis assíduæ oratiónis, velut sub uno solis rádio, * Omnem mundum colléctum conspéxit. v. Vidénti enim Creatórem, angústa est omnis creatúra. * Omnem mundum. v. Glória Patri. * Omnem mundum.
Orémus.
Deus, qui beátum Benedíctum abbátem in schola divíni servítii præclárum constituísti magístrum, † tríbue, quǽsumus, ut, amóri tuo nihil præponéntes, * viam mandatórum tuórum dilatáto corde currámus. Per Dóminum.
God, who raised up Blessed Benedict as an outstanding teacher in the school of divine service, grant us, we beg Thou, preferring naught to Thy love, to run with dilated hearts on the path of Thy commandments.
